SOAP-BUBBLE-BLOWING DOLL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 612,121, dated October11, 1898.

Application filed J anuary 11, 1898. Serial No. 666,325. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM RAKovsKY, a subject of the Emperor ofAustria-Hungary, residing at Vienna, in the Province of Lower Austriaand Empire of Austria-Hungary,have invented a certain new and usefulkind of dolls, called Soap-Bubble-Blowing Dolls; and I do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention.

My invention consists in dolls prepared in such a manner that bypressing a syringe or bellows in the back or interior of the dollsoapbubbles are ejected from a small spout fixed in the mouth of thedoll and connected with the syringe or bellows by a curved tube, throughwhich the necessary quantity of soapfoam is drawn into the syringe.

Hitherto such dolls have been manufactured with clockwork; but for thiscostly part there has been substituted in my invention a simple and verycheap arrangement whereby the manufacture of such dolls in quantitieshas become a possibility.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a longitudinal sectionof the doll, and Fig. 2 a longitudinal section of a modifiedconstruction of Fig. 1.

a represents the body of the doll, in the back of which is formedanorifice b. In the body a is placed a hollow elastic ball or syringe c,which projects partially through the orifice b. This ball 0 is providedat the top with a short tube (1, as is usual in syringes, adapted to beinserted in the end of a rubber tube f, which extends upward through atubular hole in a cork g, which cork serves to hold the head i and bodyof the doll together. Above this cork, in the head of the doll, the tubef is bent downward, so as to project through an orifice in the head,which represents the month.

In the outer end of the rubber tube is inserted one end of a glass ormetal tube h, the other end of which is made to flare outwardly in astar shape in the case of a metal tube by slitting the end and turningover the flaps 7a, or in a glass tube jointed by casting.

A modification of this device (represented in Fig. 2) is as follows: Inthe body of the doll are placed vertically a pair of bellows Z from theoutside through the body. To the bottom of the bellows, which moves upand down as the bellows are compressed or expanded, is attached a cordm, which extends outside of the dolls body through an orifice, and bypulling which the bellows are expanded, the elasticity of the sidesbringing the bottom back to its normal position when the cord isreleased. To the flat stationary top n is fastened by a flange at itsbottom a short tube 19, the passage of which registers with a hole inthe top of the bellows, the tube being inserted in the end of a rubbertube f, as in Fig. 1, and the remainder of the construction being thesame as in said Fig. 1. The connection of the rubber tube with the shorttubes d or 9 may be made by an intermediate bent metal tube, as c, Fig.1.

The operation of my invention is as follows: The end 7a of the pipe h isplaced in a vessel containing soap-foam and the ball 0 compressed,expelling the air within it through the tubes f and h. When the pressureis released, this ball by its own elasticity expands and draws in bysuction a quantity of the soap-foam through the tubes f h. When the ballis again pressed, this foam is expelled and forms bubbles at the end isof the tubes f h.

In the variation in Fig. 2 the bellows are expanded by pulling the cordm after the end 76 of the tube h is placed in the soap-foam, and bysuction the foam is drawnin, the natural elasticity of the sides of thebellows c011- tracting them after the cord is released and expelling thefoam in the form of bubbles at 7);.

Having thus fully described myinvention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a soap-bubble-blowing doll the combination of an elasticreceptacle in the body of the said doll with a tube connected at one endto said receptacle and its other end extending through an orifice in thesaid doll substantially as set forth.-

2. In a soap-bubble-blowing doll, the combination of bellows located inthe body of said doll, a cord extending outside of said body foroperating said bellows, and a flexible tube of said flexible tube andhaving its other end 10 flanged outwardly substantially as set forth. Inwitness whereof I hereunto set my hand in presence of two Witnesses.

ABRAHABI RAKOVSKY.
